above statement as telegraphed to the
Orcgonian. We think that if the
above is in his report, he misrepresents
the facts, particularly in regard to our
present population. No census has been
taken since that of 1880, little more
than seven years ago, when the full
census showed only little more than
$4,000, and VIC think that our present
population is not double that of 1880,
and that q correct census will not show
more than 10000, including Indians
and Cinnamon. 1t is little surprising
chat the governor should be so exact as
to state in an official report that we now
have 1880 of population when there
has been no census taken since 1880,
and no provision made for taking one
either, by the general government, or by
the territory, or by the counties. 1t
looks very much like on attempt to mis-
represent the actual population Of the
territory by giving his own estimate,
instead Of the result Of proper census.
He probably can estimate as we'll IS any
other man, and no better. Hence j,
would have been just as proper to have
taken some other mans estimate instead
Of his own. We think he would have
been more safe to have said that this
was an estimated population instead
of an actual population. We soy that we
believe that an accurate census of our
population at the present time or within
six months from this time will not show
1000 souls Of men, women and
children. Again the governor in an
official report animadverts upon the
friends of annexation as a class, as being
a set Of political tricksters, governed eni
moved by jealousy, and other like causes.
Now the governor is quite an old citizen
Of TIC territory, and ought to know and
We think does know that the movement
to annex the four Northern counties Of
Idaho originated from none of the causes
which he assigns, and has not been fos-
tered by politicians and others for any
political purposes, or for the advance.
ment of any political party. Some poll
ticians have attempted to profit by it,
But the people ofthe North generally
have been disposed to shut down on any
effort to make annexation a stepping
stone to preferment in any political party.
They have always sought annexation to
Washington because geographically We
belong to Washington, having all our
commercial and social relations with
Washington, and none with any portion
of South Idaho, and though for twenty
years We have tried hard to annihilate
the barrier that exists between US and
the South, yet we are no nearer
accomplishing that end except
through Oregon and Washington
or Montana, than when we first made
the attempt and no one ought to know
these facts better than governor Steven
son himself, and governor Stevenson in
official capacity utters a SANDER upon the
people of the four counties of North
Idaho, when he charges upon them the
motives he does in this report to the
Secretary of the Interior and he knew
it when he made that report.

has the following in regard to the Port
land Ne,os under its new management
"The Portland Neps under its new
management has taken decided stand
for South Idaho as against North idaho
on the annexation question, and it looks
very much, from the strong tone of the
NeUs, as if there were some subsidies
floating about. The proposed division
Of Idaho is characterized as scheme
similar to that which blotted out Pc
land. The Ners, however, is ignorant
Of the question entirely, and this accounts
to good extent for its boldness in stat
ing that the "people Of Idaho" do not
want Idaho disturbed. OF course, if the
people Of Ncz Perez, Kootenai and
Shoshone counties are not part Of the
people of Idaho then the statement is
correct. Otherwise the NeWs cannot
support its assertions.

AS THE season draws to a close the
usual crop result in Kansas begins to
develop, and, as usual, it is found that
the stories as regards the crops being
an entire failure, have been greatly ex-
aggerated. An instance of this kind
was shown up to-day in front of
THE NEWS office, when farmer was
hailed and asked how his corn was
getting along. "Oh, Splendid" re-
piled the granger, who, by-the-way,
lives only few miles south of the city.
why, guess I'll have at least forty
or fifty bushels to the acre" ''You
will, - replied the interrogater. "Why,
you told me week ago Saturday that
you would not have enough to pay the
taxes on your land, and you swore that
all the newspaper men in the state
were in league to report big crops for
the purpose of keeping prices down.
How do you make these stories jibe?"
And the guileless farmer said that pos
sibly he had exaggerated little at that
time, as it was awful dry just then,
with no prospects of rain, and it looked
as if everything would be burned up.
And in many cases there have been
extreme cases similar to this. Never
theless there can be no doubt of the
great damage done the crops by the ex-
IRENE dryness of the season. But, with
care and economy, Kansas is in good

GOVERNOR MARTIN is repeatedly re-
quested by various old soldiers to allow
their regimental colors to be forwarded
to them from the state house to be dis
played at their reunions. Some years
ago the executive council decided that
the flags should not be removed from
the capitol building under any circum-
stances. Many of them are so frail
and tattered that to send them away
on the occasion of these applications
would be to destroy the flags. Old
soldiers will, upon consideration, APP
preciate the ruling made by the council.
Two years ago during the great re-
union in Topeka none of the regimental
flags were taken out of their places of
deposit. Journal.
